Hello All.
I am doing good in Dar. The flight over was very long (approx. 20 hours), but am happy I was able to go business class over here (thanks to work). The hotel is awesome (www.hotelwhitesands.com). Actually looks like the website which is not common over here from what I found out.
I have been working since I got here which is why I am here. But I was able to go to the fish market today, but was not comfortable pulling out the work camera to take pictures. Got some cool ebony wood pieces. They had a boat load (no pun intented) of sea shells, starfish, shark fine, tails form rays, shark teeth and you name it. All of it was great quality and very cheap.
Monday is a national holiday - Zanzibar Revolution Day. Zanzibar is the famous spice island which I plan to visit if i get a day off. In mid Feb., they have a "free" music festival of all the different types of music from Africa, which is the time I want to go. Suince Monday is a holiday, I should have some time to post some pics. Am heading for some shut eye.
Take Care
